Real Passion Heart

More From John Eldredge

The mind turned inwards is the self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. but all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. the one is real, the many are mere names and forms.
Motivational Real Self
Our passions are the chief means of self-preservation; to try to destroy them is therefore as absurd as it is useless; this would be to overcome nature, to reshape god's handiwork. if god bade man annihilate the passions he has given him, god would bid him be and not be; he would contradict himself. he has never given such a foolish commandment, there is nothing like it written on the heart of man, and what god will have a man do, he does not leave to the words of another man. he speaks himself; his words are written in the secret heart.
Mean Passion Heart
No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself. thus a man's wife, however realistic her view of him, always flatters him in the end, for the worst she sees in him is appreciably better, by the time she sees it, than what is actually there.
Christian Character Men
Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. all things appear to us in the shape of forms. even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. a figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

I really feel concerned about young people within our present culture. our present culture, we have to change. change is inevitable and i wasn't raised in our present culture but it has great pressure that as a young person i never had. material pressure, social pressure, visual pressure, how you look, and i just try to appeal to young people to think for themselves, to be their own person, and to ask questions and also be very attentive to our planet and our environment.

I do not conceive that power is given to the president and senate to dismember the empire, or to alienate any great, essential right. i do not think the whole legislative authority have this power. the exercise of the power must be consistent with the object of the delegation.

Capitalism is the only engine credible enough to generate mass wealth. i think it's imperfect, but we're stuck with it. and thank god we have that in the toolbox. but if you don't manage it in some way that incorporates all of society, if everybody's not benefiting on some level and you don't have a sense of shared purpose, national purpose, then it's just a pyramid scheme.

I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. the power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. i can't think of a profession i have more respect for.

I think that there is no supernatural dimension. the natural world is quite wonderful enough. the more we know about it, the much more wonderful it is than any supernatural proposition.
